0:00:00 Overview, Achilles and The Dread mothership overview, setup
0:13:03 Warp's Edge - Achilles vs The Dread playthrough
The clarifications below are also in the KLINGON SUBTITLES, so turn them on if you want to see the notes when the situation comes up.
Clarification: Shields are replenished at a cost of 1 Energy per 2 Shield value, not "all your shields". I said this in the overview, but never used the ability during play.
Clarification: There is a distinction between "enemy" (the little ships) and "target" (little ships AND mothership). For example, the Warhammer POWER token says "enemy", so it's no-go on a mothership. This is in the Glossary in the back of the rule book.
Clarification: The distinction is "power token" and "standard token". This became clear after re-checking the manual.

Hurray! I've been looking forward to this series. I think I mentioned before that this is my favorite solo game next to Final Girl. Happy to see you showing it off. There's a lot of finicky terms (lasers vs laser tokens, targets vs enemies) that get people tripped up but you seemed to have a pretty good handle on everything. Great game!

You did, and I completely forgot you mentioned it. 😄 There's just so much good stuff out there to play! I got a bit tripped up at the end, I tried to be very careful about "laser token" vs "laser" and how that would stack with the ability cards that used specific language. It all sounded good when I said it, but I wouldn't be surprised if I had it wrong. 😅 I can't wait to play some more, hopefully this coming week. I have only EVER played this combination, so I have a lot to explore!

Nice playthrough and tutorial. I love this game. I would note that with that ship in particular, you shouldn't be afraid of dying right at the end of a warp. You can die and get a free shield reset. Ans you are correct that the Warhammer cannot affect the mothership. Enemy - This is the specific term for enemy cards in the alien fleet. When a game effect refers to enemies, it does not apply to the mothership.

Achilles does not fear death... Achilles feared losing tokens from shield damage. 😆 Being unfamiliar with the game I was worried I wouldn't have enough tokens to clear the deck and attack the boss so I was trying to pack the bag with as many tokens as possible. If played well (something I will never do), going all in on a hard to kill Enemy ship to earn a high value reward and tossing out three low value tokens at what would be the end of the Warp anyway is of course a great strategy. "Enemy" vs "Target" : Thank you, I knew I had read it somewhere, but couldn't remember exactly where. Often it's from a faint memory of a BGG post, however, in this case the Glossary in the back of the rule book clears it up.

This one seems pretty special. I can already tell you it's worth picking up and may as well grab the Anomaly expansion to go with it. I have played around 10 games so far and it's great. I would like to get my hands on the Viren Invasion expansion, but because you're already at their website (it's exclusive to their web shop) you want to buy the fancy tokens as well aaaaaand then you're in $50 for plastic upgrades and an expansion, and that's before shipping. $63.38 after (for me, to Nevada), which is a whole other new game at that point. With my current financial situation that's not a smart move. Being broke makes it easy to control my FOMO :)

I don't remember if I mentioned it or not, but it seems the base game and "Anomaly" expansion are available at retail, but the "Viren Invasion" expansion is only available directly from Renegade (which I don't have).

Great play through. Even after one game I feel you're such a good gamer you could add a challenge card from anomaly. Making the dredd unprotected is my favourite for that boss. The duo, being my favourite overall. Hope you make it to boss 3.Absolutely bodied the first game, great job.

I have accidentally done something weird to my brain with this game. Somehow I have only EVER played Achilles vs The Dread. So in 10 or 11 months, every time I have taken it out, I have played that same match. Because I have had so much fun just fighting this same fight over and over, I don't grasp at all how I would manage to fight a different boss. Like you said, if The Dread was Unprotected - holy smokes how would that even work? I can't stun seven things! Very excited to finally find out just how much more this game offers, and how bad I really am :)

@@CeePhour the ships really have different flavours, and some matchups work better than others but nothing seems impossible so far. Make use of your hold between warps to keep a token(s) and give yourself a 6 token or more head start for the next warp start if you can't use them all. With the larger shield value ships you lose lots of tokens when taking dmg, try to keep as many on skill cards, your hold and stunning enemies to avoid them going to discard and being lost when resolving a high dmg attack turn.Skill cards are like an extra hold space for limited tokens when primed, they just dont carry over to the next warp, unlike the ship hold. You're gonna get hit in this game, but getting hit doesn't always mean losing important tokens if you can help it. Sometimes the bag draw is kind, sometimes it's so mean! And I love it.

Thank you, this is great advice! I just got destroyed in Warp 4 Titan vs The Duo, but it was so much fun!

@@CeePhour haha same this morning. Ran the ship that grants an extra skill card at game start and took down 1 half but couldn't get the other head. Compared to the artemis ship I started with which found the duo a breeze, the E token lazer upgrades were very missed! Been a lil while since I played this, your video just randomly appeared and inspired me to get it back out and I forgot how much fun I find it. Gamecrafter/buttonshy small stuff has been my go to solo filler recently but I'm really back into warps edge now. Cheers Get em next time!

When you spend energy to gain power tokens should the energy tokens not be removed from game and not put in your discarded tray?
